I don't hate Shuurei but those guys deserve far better women in Saiunkoku than career obsessed Shuurei. I mean of all the guys that might be willing enough to stick with Shuurei, is Seiran. But, Ryuuki needs a princess and Shuurei is making it hard for him to marry someone else because even if she doesn't say it, Ryuuki feels that she loves him. So he dangles like a fish on a hook that has a big fat worm on it.

But in terms of time frame and basing on historical facts, Shuurei's kind is unusual and guys like Seiga and the other officials in the Kingdom is somewhat a representation of the public in those times, of how they resent women who think like Shuurei does. But what the author puts is the modern day woman like Shuurei who goes beyond limits and by sheer luck (and the author's wishes), manages to get the right respect and admiration. Women of today are like Shuurei--- they don't marry young because they are career obssessed- I'm among them. But I'm not like Shuurei's type who would hook someone like Ryuuki and then allow him to dry up under the heat of the sun.
So, Shuurei is admirable for always pursuing what is right, but she's just too horrible to the men of Saiunkoku. She shouldn't lead them on like that.
I prefer Jyuusan-hime's character because she's the fighter, realistic and reasonable. Too bad Saiunkoku Monogatari's main character isn't her.
Long reply, huh?

If you'd hate the writer... then it's like implying that you hated Saiunkoku. hehehehehehe Whether we like Shuurei or not... her character makes the story interesting; her actions ripple to the courses of events in SaiMono. Every character in SaiMono is interesting and makes a good plot that's intriguing to follow through the end.
So, don't be angry at the writer for making such a wonderful story... just continue to hate Shuurei if you want. hehehehehehehe
We never know... she may die at the very last season and everyone will live happily ever after. :w00t:

No one has mentioned Ensei I mean dont get me wrong Shuurei and Ryuuki are my fav. paring but she would look good with ensei to

Yeah! Ensei is a good candidate for Shuurei 'cuz no matter what, he likes Shuurei's determination and Shuurei thinks he's a whiff of fresh air. She can seclude herself in Ensei's arms... but mainly that is Seiran's job.

I AGREE~
He's also one of the few who don't straightaway go Ga-ga over her whenever she appears.
Sensible, strong and mature!
A real modern man.

1. Seiran => two-faced guy with a dark past (used to admire Seiran the most though).
2. Sakujun => handsome manipulative sociopath.
3. Eigetsu => sorry, too young.
4. Kouyuu => his hair sucks and he always gets lost. How would Shuurei ever feel safe with him??
5. Shuuei => still pining for a lost love (I wonder who she is??).
6. Hyou Riou Senior and Junior => they need to do something about their hair and social skills (unfriendly and too mysterious).
7. Ryuuren => interesting and humorous character, but he just doesn't have that boyfriend image. Appears to be a permanent wanderer (imagine falling for such a guy! how would one start a family??)
8. The other men who are unlisted=> are too old for Shuurei!!

DA~KA~RA~,
I prefer people like Ensei who are mature, not scheming and NOT WHINY~
OH AND Tantan-kun ROCKS!

Don't like the Ryuuki fans, huh? Well, I am not a Ryuuki fan as well. I'm more of a Seiran and Ensei supporter. Although I love the psycho aura of Sakujun.

Seiran is somewhat of a two-face. But he didn't have much of a choice of his past. And I think you can relate his character to Shurei's father who has the Black Wolf side of him. I see a good story in Seiran.

Ensei is just a wonderful rock. Great personality. Great presence and a good comfort. He's quite an ideal man.

So, is Tantan-kun. He's more of a background guy but he stands out really well.

Now that you got my attention on these two. I believe they are the two more realistic characters in SaiMono... Well, at least so far.

I think it would make an interesting story if Ensei starts to really like Shuurei. I wonder how Ryuuki, Seiran, and Sakujun would react. And how would Shuurei's uncles react??? hehehehehehe

If that happens:
A. Seiran will give Ensei hell on earth.
B. Reishin will scoff and say that Ensei is just a rugged guy from a rich family who ends up "poor" and "wandering".
(can't stand arrogant uncles like him!!)
C. Shouka-san will worry about Shuurei less since Ensei is so strong.
D. Tantan-kun can finally concentrate on his own career, now that Shuurei has a new bodyguard instead of him.
E. Ryuuki will sever all ties with him in hate.
F. Kouyuu will be relieved that he is less likely to marry Shuurei himself.
G. Sakujun aka Lin Senya is apparently dead by suicide of poison so he will not bother his first and only love, who is Shuurei.
H. Ryuuren will have to leech onto Eigetsu more often since Shuurei will thus have less time to spend with him, thus angering Kourin!
